@boisdevache @starkatt if you'll forgive another long answer:

There are surveys done just as general-purpose sky surveys. Of course they reach have their limits, and they are done with at least one drievoudig goal in mind, but these are done with the idea in mind that they will answer questions nobody has yet thought of. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is an extremely successful example of this.

@anne @boisdevache@guineapig.party @starkatt question: what is a "drievoudig goal"?

@Felthry @starkatt that's swipe-to-type being helpful. I meant "specific".

It is also an example of an extremely annoying problem with the Android keyboard: I have installed multiple languages, so I can switch between them and get suggestions for whichever one I'm currently typing. But the keyboard happily suggests from all the languages, yielding random Dutch or French words even though I've told it I'm writing English.
